USA Wins

I am so excited to be able to watch the World Cup. It is the pinnacle of sports in the rest of the world, except the US. Which is unfortunate but hey, it all works out some how. I would hope that the majority of you know that the US has advanced to the second round by winning in stoppage time against Algeria. Now they should have clinched their win early on but FIFA did not overturn the call of offsides against the US where they had previously scored a goal. I am a big fan of calling off sides and I think it's important but even I did not think the US player was off sides. Anyway, it seemed that when all was lost and the US would be coming home in the very start (or close to it) of the second minute of stoppage time the US scored the game winning goal. It was a great game and very well played by both teams. I am very excited that the US is going to advance. Although now I believe it is a straight elimination round, you have to win to advance any further. It will be decided who they will play I think on Thursday as those games have not yet been played then later on in the week, they will face their next challenge. I can hardly wait there have been some amazing moments that I have been able to see since the start of the world cup. GO TEAM USA.
